Mushroom Rice ***

This one has been all over Pinterest. The notes say that you can add chicken, but I honestly don't think it would be all that good with the chicken in it. I think that the chicken might overpower some of the mushroom flavor. I made it with brown rice, and even after cooking it an extra 10 minutes, it still was firmer than I would have liked. I'm going to try it with white rice next time and see how it goes. The flavor and smell are great, though, and it's a breeze to throw it together. I would absolutely make it again.

Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat; cook mushrooms,garlic and onion until mushrooms are cooked and butter evaporated.
Add broth and rice; season with parsley (chopped), salt, and pepper.
Cover and cook on low heat about 15 mins till rice is cooked.
If using as main dish, add cut-up cooked chicken after rice is cooked.
